In the murder-mystery comedy movie Knives Out, master detective Benoit Blanc investigates the death of the Thrombey family patriarch after a family gathering gone wrong. Throughout this dramatic mystery movie we see the Thrombey family truly put the “fun” in dysfunction: Before his death, patriarch Harlan Thrombey indulged and enabled his family, fueling a competition for their inheritance. In part 3 of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, Pastor Nithin Thompson contrasts the Thrombey family inheritance from Knives Out with the greater, Heavenly Inheritance we have in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 1 in the New Testament of the Bible reveals that as Christians, we are heirs to an eternal inheritance passed down to us through Jesus Christ’s perfect life, sacrificial death and miraculous resurrection from the dead.

Have you ever competed in a race? In the movie Ford Vs. Ferrari we learn about the true story of visionary car designer Carroll Shelby (played by Matt Damon) and driver Ken Miles (played by Christian Bale) who come together to build a revolutionary race car for the Ford Motor Company in 1966. Their goal: Win the 24 hours of Le Mans, the most famous endurance car race in the world. In part 2 of Liquid Church’s annual At The Movies series, Pastor Tim Lucas draws comparisons between the car race Le Mans from Ford Vs. Ferrari to running the race of faith with endurance. While the first-century writers of Hebrews 12 probably didn’t have modern race cars in mind, the metaphor of a long-distance endurance race symbolizes how Christ calls his followers to run the race of the Christian life with endurance all the way to the finish line… Where we will be embraced by our Savior Jesus in Heaven for eternity.

Have you ever experienced a dip in your faith that caused you to question God or experience doubt? If you ever wrestle with trusting God when life is hard, good news: You’re in a prime position to grow! In this message by Tim Lucas, Lead Pastor of Liquid Church, we learn practical steps Christ-followers can take to lean in during the dips of doubt. Your crisis of belief can actually create new spiritual momentum that leads you into an even deeper trust in God. Pastor Tim introduces us to wisdom from Habakkuk chapter 1 in the Old Testament of the Bible. In this chapter, the minor prophet Habakkuk wrestled with God: Questioning God when everything in his world seemed upside down. This is a message about wrestling with God in “the dip'' - the place where we have a crisis of belief and wonder “Can God really be trusted?” We learn that the dip of doubt and questioning faith is not to be avoided, but rather, it is to be embraced. Our seasons of suffering and waiting on God can lead us into a new season of hope, fai

In a world that is so divided, how do we choose unity over prejudice? We have been trained to create categorizations based on our differences. Black or white. Republican or democrat. Gay or straight.

Right now, many of us experience day-to-day worry, fear, and anxiety due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, which has now claimed the lives of over 190,000 people around the world. You may worry about how the coronavirus may impact your health - but you also might worry about the economic implications. We don't know how much longer until we're back together at church, in schools, or at restaurants - but we do know that there is no need to let fear imprison us. Anxiety is a fact of life, but it doesn't have to dominate life. That's why we compiled a strategy for how to win the war on worry. How To Win The War On Worry In Philippians 4:6-8, the Apostle Paul tells us this: "Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus." When Paul wrote the book of Philippians in the New Testament of the Bible

Easter is typically a time when we celebrate life and resurrection, but this Spring, we’re surrounded by so much death and disease. Here in the New York and New Jersey region, God chose us to live in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic: A global disaster bigger than World War II. During this pandemic, I find a lot of people asking: Where is God in all this suffering? The answer is this: He’s right there with you, on the Cross. This Easter, I want to share with you a bittersweet story from the Gospel of John, chapter 11. In the story, we see Jesus’ close friends Mary & Martha call Jesus to come and help when their brother Lazarus fell sick. Lazarus was a friend of Jesus’ as well, and the Scripture shows us that Jesus loved him.  However, Jesus waited 2 days before traveling to the family, and when He finally got to Mary & Martha, Lazarus had already died. Martha was hurt and confused when Jesus arrived late, believing that, had Jesus come earlier, Lazarus would have lived. The thing is, he didn
